ppc750cl
Rust tools for working with the PowerPC 750CL family of processors.
Rust crates
rustup components add rustfmt
cargo run --package ppc750cl-genisa
cargo build --release
Python module
python -m venv env
source ./env/bin/activate
pip install maturin
maturin build -m ./disasm-py/Cargo.toml
Instruction Set
For those unfamiliar with PowerPC, here are some basics.
- PowerPC 7xx is a family of RISC CPUs produced from 1997 to 2012.
- They operate with 32-bit words and every instruction is 32-bits wide.
- This project focuses (only) on compatibility with the PowerPC 750CL.
- This chip is famously packaged as codename "Broadway" for the Nintendo Wii.
- Its predecessor PowerPC 750CXe is used in the Nintendo GameCube.
- It adds a "paired-singles" SIMD unit and a bunch of other instructions.
isa.yaml
The file isa.yaml contains a full definition of the PowerPC 750CL instruction set.
It powers the disassembler, assembler, and Rust/Python bindings code analysis tools.
Similarly to LLVM TableGen, the program ppc750cl-genisa
generates a Rust file implementing an instruction decoder.
